#Shopping for a Better Planet

A community built list of ways to shop for products that promote sustainable agriculture.

##Why Build This Guide?

After reading an article on why The Coffee Industry Is Worse Than Ever For The Environment it got me thinking; If I had known to look for the Rainforest Allicance logo on the coffee I purchased all these years I would have. The problem is that I didn't know that the Rainforest Allicance, or this specific agricultural problem, existed. That's when I came up with the idea for this GitHub repo.

My hope is that this repo will become a definitive list on best shopping practices for a better planet. Driven by the community at large, we can leverage OSS (Open Source Shopping) to promote sustainable agriculture by voting with our dollars.
